Repair Hangar

[twitchy]

How about a hangar one can roll into and have their plane fixed to reup. Maybe spend a few perk points and several minutes wait to get the mechanics on the job, maybe the amount of time being relative to the amount of damage. There's been several times I've had a great sortie with a couple kills and end up missing an aileron, would be really neat to be able to RTB and spend a perk point or two to get that same sortie rolling again.

Love the idea.  I just don't see way they can not be fixed but a tiger with its turret damage can be fixed.

While I have always been opposed to repairing damaged planes, it's hard to argue with that logic.

I think maybe HiTech himself chimed in once, and I think his response was negative. You should REALLY try a swearch for this subject. It's been rehashed ad nauseum.


This is a game. There are certain challenges. If you make it back to base damaged, limping, barely intact... COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS YOU WEREN'T KILLED!

Land. Respawn.

I agree with Krusty.

Just for the sake of argument though, what do you think the minimum time for repair would be acceptable?

Reality vs. a game.  What if it was a ten minute wait?  Or even five minutes?  Would it be worth it?

What is a swearch?

What is a swearch?   

Short for "swear search"...that's cussing at your computer because nothing comes up in your search. 


I can understand the OP wanting something besides just a re-arm pad but realistically speaking...repair would be useless. In his own words

"There's been several times I've had a great sortie with a couple kills and end up missing an aileron, would be really neat to be able to RTB and spend a perk point or two to get that same sortie rolling again."

Rather than exit and re-up with a fresh plane (maybe different plane or change loadouts) getting credit for the kills you already have, you're willing to take a chance on that missing aileron turning into a death for you and having to re-up with a fresh plane anyway.


Must be one of the 1337 uber players...I have a hard enough time landing 1 kill per sortie...I'm not going to chance losing a 2 kill sortie just for the "immersion" factor unless I absolutely have to...and it would highly irritating if someone came in and dropped a 1000lb egg on me while I was waiting for my plane to get "repaired".

That is a agument.  Why should it take 5-10 mins to do repair on AC but a split sec. on a GV.  Infact, why should a GV be repair and not AC's?   They both should equal in gaming

Would you still want this , if it reset your current sortie kill count?

Why would it have to reset the kill count, the entire point of a repair hangar would assumably be to add kills to a current sortie.

HiTech

That isn't a good argument seeing that your kills don't reset when you grab a box of supplies in a tank. So why would it be any different in a plane?

[Yossarian]

HiTech

Yes, I would, because when the FHs are down at an isolated airbase and you've got an enemy CV nearby, ending your sortie really will take you out of the fight.

know what i have a change of heart under some conditions.

The Repair pad can not be used to land kills on if someone is coming in to kill you.

So unlike the rearm pad where people can land kills when people come in to kill em. You cant on a repair pad. If this is what happens then im all for it because it will just mean easyer kills  

[Mister Fork]

I think the reason why he's asking is becuase of the way the game is programmed.  If someone want's their plane repaired, perhaps its the only way he can do it?
